To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMERICH H. VAVRA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, Cook county, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacle-Linings, of which the following, taken in connection with the drawing, is a description.

My invention has for its object the production of a removable lining for receptacles of various kinds, more particularly those used for containing food products such as butter, ice cream, etc., which are easily contaminated if contained in a receptacle that is even slightly rusted or otherwise imperfect.

A further object of my invention is to produce a lining of this kind which shall be so cheap to produce that a lining can be used but once and thrown away and a fresh one used each time the receptacle is used.

A further object of my invention is to provide such a lining that may be folded into position inside of the receptacle Without any fastening or securing devices of any kind to hold it in place, the sides and bottom portions thereof being sufficient to maintain it inside of the receptacle. Other objects and features of advantage of my invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated What I now consider the preferred form of my invention, and in these drawings,

Figure 1 is a plan View of the blank out of which said lining is formed;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bottom lining portion;

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bottom of the folded lining with the edge turned in;

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a receptacle having my lining applied thereto.

Referring to the drawing, A represents a blank out of which the lining is formed, and

which is preferably made of parafiin paper, or any other light, non-absorbent and odorless material, the curved edge will with the slightest pressure fold under the straight edge adjacent to 1t, thereby permitting a v w. j Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar, 13, 1917,

rim to be formed practically automatically as the lining is rolled into a cylinder and placed into a receptacle."

I h1s blank is cut to any length or width desiredto fit close to the inner wall of the receptacle within which it is to be used, be-

ing from the scored line B to the edge is cut into a plurality of small sections or tabs F), the outer edge of each section or tab being rounded upon one corner thereof, as at b, to facilitate the overlapping or folding of the edges of said tabs when the lining is turned into folded position. I

When the meeting edges (1, a, are brought together forming a cylinder out of the blank or body portion A, the lower end thereof is bent along the scored or weakened line B and the sections or tabs folded inwardly, as shown in Fig. 3, the slit edges overlapping each other and forming a rim C which rests upon the bottom of the receptacle containing the lining.

A disk 0' forms the bottom of the receptaclelining and rests upon the rim' C inside of the cylindrical lining formed of the blank A.

D represents a receptacle in which the lining may be used, from which it will be seen the walls of the receptacle do not come lapped, said material having a scored or weakened line near one edge thereof, one edge of said material being slit or cut in sections to overlap each other and form an inwardly turned rim for the bottom of the receptacle, each of said sections having one side thereof curved to fold beneath the straight edge of the adjacent section, and

a removable disk fitting mside of and resting upon said rim to form the bottom of the m EMERICH H. VAVRA.
